Earthquake Hits Mexico; No Death, Damage

A strong earthquake shook southern Mexico early Friday, knocking out power in parts of Mexico City and Acapulco, swaying tall buildings and sending frightened people into the streets in their pajamas.

Civil defense officials in Mexico and the Pacific coast state of Guerrero, where the magnitude-6 quake was centered, said there were no reports of any deaths or major damage. One person was injured falling down stairs trying to get to the street. Television video showed fallen ceiling tiles, and cracks running through the facades of buildings. City inspectors checked one precariously leaning five-story apartment building, where eight families evacuated.
